I Almost Kill Him
February 26, 2008 | 12 Comments

Mr. A has just bought a brand new car and as you can expect, he is extremely proud of his new car. The moment he reached home, he showed this brand new car to his only son, Peter.
Peter is only 3 years one and absolutely happy with his dad’s car.
“You stay here and I’ll go in and tell mommy about this new car, okay?” said Mr. A to his son excitedly.
“Okay!” replied his son with a sweet smile.
Mr. A quickly went in his house and tried to give his wife the surprise. When Mr. A and his wife come out to see his new car, he heard some noise from behind the car.
Sensing something was wrong, he quickly rushed to the back of his car. What he saw was …
… his 3-year-old son, Peter is holding a hammer knocking on his brand new car.
“What are you doing?” shouted Mr. A
To which his son replied, “I am trying to help you to repair the car, dad”.
Mr. A felt so angry that he snatched the hammer away from his son and hit his son’s hand with the hammer in his hand.
His wife just can’t believe what had just happened and quickly called for an ambulance.
Fast forward …
In the hospital, Mr. A burst out in tears beside his son and regret for what he had done. He told his son that he is sorry. His son said, “Don’t worry dad, I’ll buy you a new car when I grow up.”
Fast forward …
Mr. A committed suicide.
THE END!

But why did he commit suicide? Surely the regret for having hit his son couldn’t have been so great so as to push him to kill himself.
Yeah, you are right.
It’s the regret that caused him to do so.
In my opinion, Mr A. dont have a ‘bigger picture’ towards life in his mind.
Instead of committing suicide, he should be more optimistic.

Mr. A is a compulsive person. he reacts immediately and his mind is focused on his car. He didn’t even think his son.. That was a big regret for him! Good for Mr. A that in the end he realized he almost killed his son. Instead of committing suicide, why not spend more time to his son?
Hi Shueqry,
I wonder how much better would his life be if he made the wise decision.
Emotional rules! That’s what I have learned in copywriting.
Hi Land Projeck UK,
Emotions stand out many times more than logic.
Logic usually backs up later after the emotional based action.
That explains why people usually buy things they don’t really need.
OMG..that too cruel..I got tear on my eye when I read the father hit his own son..I love my son and I don’t want this happen to him.
Hi Bent,
The story will lead us to the next sign of victim.
He shouldn’t hit his son at the very first place. No matter how angry he was, this is not the right way to express his anger.
And when he commit suicide, this shows that this guys is brainless, he let his emotion control him
He is hopeless guy..
Hi Zaki,
Angry people are hard to understand.
Hmmm, That you are like the news, trying to put negative images in our minds, and that I should tune you out?
